Women in Leadership and Entrepreneurship in Developing Country Contexts

Catalog description

This course investigates the evolution of discourses surrounding gender and development, focusing on how women have gained economic independence, agency, and socio-economic mobility in developing country contexts and have thus emerged as successful entrepreneurs and leaders in their respective eco-systems. It examines how certain socio-economic factors have lifted women out of poverty, exclusion, and marginalization. By exploring both individual potential and collective power through dedicated activism, the course spans the fields of economics, sociology, and public policy.
